Home Health
For Information: 620-252-1137
Here at CRMC, we know that finding care for a loved one or yourself when you get older is stressful. We want to help you make the right decisions for you or your family. That is why we offer Home Health. This is a "planned" care program for you or your family member that requires a referral from your physician. This allows you or your family member to stay at home rather than go to a nursing home. Staff will assist you or your family member in monitoring your health conveniently at home.
Services provided by Home Health, based on assessed needs, may include:
- Home visits by nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and/or other support staff as needed
- Scheduled telephone calls between visits to monitor your progress
- Development of your own personal health record to help you manage your healthcare.
